Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a night here after the torrential rain the day before. After travelling through the Dales and seeing many fields under water, we hoped ours wasn’t the same.
Thankfully the drainage system had worked.
We had a warm welcome and chose where we wanted to pitch up.
Fantastic views from every angle and we had clear night skies so the stars were amazing.
We had a walk into the little village of Austwick which has a pub and is beautiful.
Walks from everywhere off the site.
Toilet and shower facilities are some of the best we’ve seen, very very clean. The site also has a place to shower dogs.

Liked Very tidy and well-organised campsite. The shower and toilet facilities are spotless, and the 10-minute hot shower is definitely worth the 50p. I’ll definitely come back here.

Highly recommend - great location and facilities.
Camping pod
Liked Great camp site - good location, easy to get to and not far from start point (by car) of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge (which is why we were there).
Stayed in a pod and it was clear and warm, electric points on each side and plenty of hooks for jackets etc.
Toilet and shower block was very clean with quality soap and loo roll. Very impressed by the facilities, genuinely the best I've ever seen at a camp site.
Would 100% stay again, and have already recommended to friends and colleagues. Thank you for a great stay!
P.S saw so many wild rabbits- super cute.
